Ditch posted:NOAH has been rocking consistently since Kobashi's return in late '02, there are many many NOAH shows worth getting so it depends on how far back you're interested. I've heard the 7/10/04 NOAH show is great (it had Kobashi vs. Akiyama which was rated (&#^*%@^$) in Figure Four Weekly). What do you think about the entire show?

Ditch posted:Oh Tiger Jeet Singh. The main reason I want to see this match is because of this: quote:No sooner should I write this than Kobashi hit him with the scariest brainbuster I have ever seen IN MY WHOLE LIFE, a move which caused me to scream "OH MY GOD loving" before I caught myself and shut up so as not to awaken neighbors. Speaking of God, as He is my witness, you MUST see this brainbuster, as I am not exaggerating anything I have written here. They showed it from another angle and I have no idea how Akiyama didn’t break his neck.

Ditch posted:Tanahashi has talent but in most cases needs to be carried. I'd honestly say the same thing about Styles because I'm not a fan of spotfests, but in AJ's case at least he has said spotfests. When Tanahashi has an off night he's very bland because his offense isn't particularly great. No pun intended, but there will be a styles clash. TNA is laughably billing Tanahashi as a high flyer.

Ready for some weird news? From puroresufan.com: quote:"Be afraid. Be very afraid. The front page of the newest Naigai Times says that Vince McMahon's WWE is making an aggressive attempt to buy out New Japan and make its biggest push into Japan yet. If this comes to anything, naturally I'll post an update..."

What would you recommend to cure the failing Akiyama reign? Being put over by Kobashi? Dare I say, kicking out of the Burning Hammer, or would that just smack of trying too hard?

Ditch posted:NOAH will not be running the Tokyo Dome this year. The big July show will be in the Budokan, and they'll probably add one toward year's end. My suspicion is that they don't have confidence in Akiyama vs ______ drawing much, and in addition, they can't land Sapp or Kawada for a match with Kobashi. Sweet Jesus, imagine Bob Sapp vs. Kenta Kobashi.

I want to see some skits of Sapp saying he's impervious to pain from chops or has such a giant neck that the Burning Hammer will have no effect or something. Preferibly at the zoo again.

Yeah. He was Trevor Rhodes, right?

NOAH called and said Kobashi will never wrestle in the US ever again. Nut Bunnies fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Jul 7, 2006 |

Bret will never be able to return, Dynamite after a certain point was the same and he was going at like 20% by the end. No, because Michaels' case was one where he could get surgery and come back. Angle needs career ending fusion surgery.

By the way, the Observer this week confirms that TNA is the one who told New Japan to book Angle in a match with Tomko. Dave thinks they are wasting Angle. Am I the only one who finds it odd that a company like TNA is telling NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING what to do? And the fact that they are carrying over an American feud that only about 1 million people see each week?
